Hi!  I am Beth Dean.  I am so excited about being your fourth grade teacher.   This is my eighteenth year at Cherokee Bend, twenty-sixth year in Mountain Brook, and thirtieth year teaching. I am a graduate of Sweet Briar College and West Virginia University. My husband Todd and I have four children who have all attended Mountain Brook Schools ( 8th, 12th, and two recent Auburn University graduates in the fields of nursing and engineering).  I love teaching, spending time with my family, and college football. I'm so excited about spending the year with you.
